What's up with these rumors that Besler is being linked to Birmingham City and, maybe, QPR?

Nooooo. That would break my heart. We can't lose Roger and Besler.

I pretty much rely on a basic Twitter search for my MLS rumors (which is where I just read about Bukaty reporting Besler's possible QPR trial... What are some good websites for these rumors? Or just specific Twitter accounts I should follow?

Really good SKC follows be it the offseason rumors or in season stuff are...

I used to like Feilhaber a few years ago. Can't say I've followed him much recently. I still think him getting that work permit and going to Derby hurt his career. Some people get too into "playing in England" and end up going to unstable relegation fodder teams when they'd be better off going somewhere with an established manager and youth program.

As for club vs. country and players moving, that's just the reality of a global game. I'm not a big fan US players going to backwater leagues in Europe just for the sake of it. A lot of times you eventually end up with a manager that doesn't know you and doesn't care. But if you can find the right club in the right country, it's hard to judge someone for leaving. Every country puts up with that.

Thanks to the great idea by alnorth (ironically not a soccer fan) ChiefsPlanet now as an SKC thread icon you can use for new threads as you see with this thread right here.

Boom.

Yippee. Thanks to the soccer hatin mods (whoever those poor clueless bastards may still be...hehe) who did not stand in the way of such a huge step in the evolution of soccer on this board and in this city.

Shameless plug. I was asked to be a regular part of an SKC centric (as well as MLS) podcast that had its first episode go live today called "Kick The Ball". Give it a listen if you need your SKC discussion fix. Features some good folks. I think it turned out well for our first run.
